Polynomial Function Matching
- Choose a second degree polynomial graph. Match a few graphs. Use the Help feature if needed. Can you explain what effect each value has on the graph?
- Match graphs from all three types. Which values have the same
effect regardless of the degree of the polynomial? What are the effects?
Periodic Function Matching
- Choose a sine graph. Match a few graphs. Use the Help feature if needed. Can you explain what effect each value has on the graph? Why do you think this graph is called periodic?
- Notice that the function expressions for all the periodic graphs have the same form. Can you explain why?
Any Function Matching
- Match at least one function of each function type. Use the Help feature if needed. Name common characteristics of all values in all
function types. Name dissimilar characteristics of all function types.
- Can you explain why the function types are grouped the way they are?
